I'd keep the FA if I were you- it's smaller than the DA and a very handy lens on a film body. Plus, if you ever change your mind, you'll always be able to pick the DA up again. The DA is a good walk-around lens, but there are better alternatives out there (FA, FA*, DA*)
Now, it is true that the 20-35mm focal length isn't that great on digital (you'll have to swich lenses often), but I've managed to stick to FA lenses on all my longer trips, and the photos were quite stunning in terms of quality.
There's not much difference in IQ between the 14mm and 12-24mm, BTW- both are great lenses.
